Liam Nestor was described as tall and lanky with broad shoulders and long wavy hair and thick eyebrows. His wife Cara was short, upright, and buxom. It was believed they came from an unfamiliar island in the west. Together they worked for a local farmer. They became so popular for their knowledge of crops, weaving, and for sharing their extra food with the less fortunate that they were given land to create what would be called a gardenery. King Durmad wanted the gardenery to include a section for orphans of the latest war and Idris to train them as warriors. The girls would be brought up by other nobility that couldn’t inherit their own land. Everyone knew that these nobles were also deviants. Especially the third oldest brother of the king, Lord Ysbail, who was sent to oversee his overly popular younger brother. Lord Ysbail would look after finances and the girls’ dorm. Rumors abounded of the gardenery becoming more about wealth than helping the less fortunate.

Whether Liam and Cara were sent away or left of their own choice was a point of contention. However, before he ever arrived, they had departed the gardenery, and no one seemed to know where they went.
